If you return the item at the store you will receive the amount on a new physical gift card. If you return the item by post, you will receive a new digital gift card by email.
Can I exchange multiple gift cards when I order?
Yes, you can. We will only deduct the amount required for that particular purchase. The remaining balance can be used for future purchases.

Why can’t I enter my business’ VAT number during the ordering process?
Mantel focuses exclusively on private consumers, i.e. business-to-consumer (B2C). We do not have a business-to-business (B2B) sales model. It is, of course, possible for a business to purchase from us, but these purchases cannot be made VAT-free.
VAT refunds on exports
Our system does not automatically and digitally process the documentation, or perform the associated administration, required for VAT refunds. Therefore we cannot entertain any requests for refund of the VAT paid. This also applies to (intra-Community) requests via the VATfree organisation.
Can my VAT number be included in the invoice?
Unfortunately, this is not possible. We sell products to only to private consumers and, therefore, have no space in the ordering process to enter a VAT number.
Can my invoice be adjusted?
It is not possible to change invoices and/or add a VAT number afterwards.I haven’t received an invoice, can I still obtain one?
You can easily find and download your invoice through your Mantel account. Don’t have a Mantel account yet? Contact our customer service and make sure you have your order number at hand. We will then send you the correct invoice via email.
I don’t have a Mantel account
Don’t worry, we will save all your invoices. Simply contact our customer service.
Double-check whether the amount has been debited from your account. If the amount has not been debited, you can place a new order. We will automatically cancel the unpaid order for you. In case the amount has been debited from your account, and you haven’t received a confirmation email after one hour, please contact us.
My payment has failed multiple times
If you keep getting failed payments, check the following:
- Do you have sufficient balance on your chosen account?
- Is the payment limit of your account sufficient?
- Is the 3D security code of your credit card activated and set up correctly?
- Has the credit card been blocked or expired?
Still having trouble paying?
In that case, please contact us. It may happen that a payment is wrongly classified as fraud and therefore blocked. Payments are checked in different ways, and through this process the risk of fraud is estimated. For example, the risk of fraud increases when a foreign credit card is used, or when several failed payment attempts have been made.
We cannot always prevent an unjustified fraud report, but we can try to solve it for you. So please contact our customer service if you cannot complete the payment.
